Grumpy doesn't want to play.

Never mind, the case wasn't about politics anyway let alone the 'far right'. The case was about self defence.

Can't help but think a dangerous precedent has been set with this verdict. It gives licence to ordinary US folk to arm themselves and go wading into protests/civil disobediences and shoot people under the pretext of self defence.

And the above does without going over state lines with an illegally procured firearm which for some bizarre reason the judge in this trial threw out.

All I can say is I'm very glad we don't have guns in this country!

The trial judge does have something of a reputation, and his rulings during this case did nothing to modify it.

I, too, am glad we don't permit the widespread possession of gums. This would not have happened here.

It is also my fear that, whatever the truth in this case, that it will encourage the boneheads in the "Proud Boys", and similar movements, to believe they can go shoot a few protestors and claim self defence.

I hope I am wrong. Time alone will tell.

Next though, wait for some pot stirring by Trump.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Rittenhouse went there to protect black businesses, anything else is npc lefty screeching & the tears are delicious.

Great day for the US.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

Quite a few people were found to be carrying guns that night. Several shots were fired that didn't come from Rittenhouse. Indeed, the guy who was shot in the arm tried to shoot him.

None of them were persecuted for arms offences to my knowledge.

Were you concerned about all this during the 18 months of rioting before Biden election? People lost their lives during that as well....but I saw no complaining from the left during that time.

What is all this 'going over state lines' nonsense....He worked over state lines for god's sake! It was literally minutes for him.

As for illegal weapon, I have no idea, perhaps that wasn't true as some provision was obviously provided for.

I am in AWE of Rittenhouse.

Firstly this lad has the guts to stand up against scum who are out looting and burning at the behest of their Democrat over-lords.

And then he shoots and kills two scumbags, including one of the most disgusting and deviant nonces ever, along with wounding a third piece of s*** as well.

All of which are deemed perfectly legit shootings.

And is now going to rake in MILLIONS from various scummy left-wing media organisations who have defamed, and lied, him over and over again. Maybe even sue Joe Brandon himself. LOL. That would truly be the cherry on the cake.

Along with causing me to be able to bathe in Progressive tears for weeks.

What is not to like?

Seriously, this lad is never going to have to buy a drink or pay for a meal again in all the parts of the US worth living in. An utter legend.
